David Ogden Spiers, who played Major Winchester on M*A*S*H, but might be better known to most people as the voice of Cogsworth in the animated Beauty and the Beast, passed away from bladder cancer at age 75.

Today I learned he was from Peoria IL. I had always assumed he was from GB because of his spot on acting in MASH. WOW. I have been living a lie for damn near forty years. Well played, Mr. Spiers.

He was only 74??Damn he looked 74 in his movies from like 30 years ago. Well, maybe not 74, but certainly older than he would’ve been back then. I just watched Se7en a few days ago. “This’s not even my desk!”
